The coffee is well above American standards. The lady behind the counter is not from the USA but probably somehere from South America continent. Therefore the coffee probably is good. The food though isn't that well. It's OK, but not as good as the Old Town Bakery a few blocks away. Most of the food is made with puff pastry. More

Awesome coffee and nice quiet spot! I loved their freshly made blueberry muffin and a rich but smooth cup of coffee. My husband and friends had a breakfast burrito that was made to order and very good. The place is very interesting and decorated with antiques, dont expect a fancy cafe, just a Great family owned coffee shop. We stopped... More

I enjoy supporting a local business that is willing to step up and go it on their own against the "big boyz". After speaking daily w/ IJ's owner it is obvious to me that he truly takes pride in the products that he offers. The good news here is that in spite of my personal political views Island Joe's truly... More

I tried to email via website and also directly without answer multiple times. I also called the phone number with only the fax picking up.... More

Hi First, we are very sorry for the slow shipping and response. Our backend on our online site was corrupted - the files - more than likely, because of something I did, so we were not getting orders or seeing request for almost two weeks, which we are now online. But for example we no longer offer the 22ct espresso... More
